Analysing Computerized Illegitimate Web Activity Using Sonic Resemblances
In a groundbreaking development, Kasada, a software company based in New York, has introduced an innovative online tool called Botronica. This unique platform uses sonification technology to translate malicious bot traffic into audible sounds, offering companies a fresh perspective on cybersecurity threats.
The Botronica tool is remarkably user-friendly, requiring no technical expertise to use. It harmonises the sounds of 1.3 million malicious bot requests, 35.1 million human requests, and 7.5 million good bot requests, transforming them into a three-part synth-pop song aptly named "Jingle Bell Bot."
"Jingle Bell Bot" is just one example of the results produced by Botronica. The tool assigns different tones to human traffic, good bot traffic, and malicious bot traffic, allowing companies to listen to and understand their cybersecurity threats in a new and engaging way.
By listening to the sounds produced by Botronica, companies can gain a deeper understanding of the ebb and flow of traffic on their website or network. This auditory representation, known as "Jingle Bell Bot," provides a unique insight into the patterns of traffic and the nature of cyberattacks.
The sonification created by Botronica, titled "Jingle Bell Bot," can be listened to, offering a captivating and immersive experience. This innovative approach to cybersecurity not only provides valuable insights but also engages users in a way that traditional data visualisations often cannot.
In a world where cybersecurity threats are becoming increasingly complex, tools like Botronica are invaluable. They offer a fresh perspective, making it easier for companies to understand and respond to cyber threats, and ultimately, protect their digital assets.
